Key Stage 2 reward time

Well done to those children in Key Stage 2 who have demonstrated excellent behaviour during Spring 1. They enjoyed a speedstacks competition and showed good team spirit throughout the activities!

Bike It Day!

Thanks to all those who supported our Bike It event - here are some pictures. We had a record 45 bikes checked on the day, a smoothie making bike ride, an assembly about the benefits of bike riding and a healthy breakfast. We have also started to sell bike equipment at a much reduced cost - if anyone is interested then please ask at the office - while stocks last!

Year 2's Florence Assembly

On Friday 15th February, Year 2 celebrated the end of our topic 'Florence: The Soldier's Friend' by performing a play to our parents.

Most of the girls were nurses, and most of the boys were soldiers. We had great fun making the props (thank you to Mrs Carey and Mrs Peterson for helping with these!) We used Lewis' lamp as it had a battery operated candle inside, and this really made it stand out.

We hope our parents really enjoyed it!

Happy Half Term!
From
Year 2 and Miss Blightman :-)

Excellent Behaviour!

House Captains rewarded children with excellent behaviour in Key Stage 1 by organising a 'Speedstacks' competition this Friday. Key Stage 2 will have their reward time next Friday. Well done to all the children and their house captains!

Year 6 Science

 

Year 6 have been investigating dissolving. They planned and carried out experiments to find out how temperature and the amount of stirring affects the rate at which sugar will dissolve. They used careful measuring to collect their results. 

 

 

 

 

Tyre Park visitors

Last week School Council Representatives from St. Monica Infant School visited us to have a look at our Tyre Park as they are thinking of getting one at their school.

Some of our own school councillors greeted the visitors and showed them what fun we have on our Tyre Park!

They swapped ideas about the types of games that can be enjoyed on the tyres and our councillors were able to explain how we use a rota to share the fun equally between classes! 

 

Year 4 round off their 'Save our Rivers' topic

This week Year 4 will be visiting Cheriton, close to the source of the River Itchen. Our visit will give the children first hand experience of geography fieldwork and a chance to study elements of river formation.

                          The river source springs from underground, forming a pool of water

Year 4 parents are invited to an assembly at 9am on Friday morning, 8th February, to learn more about our topic work this term. We hope to see many of you there!

After school, also on Friday 8th February, the class are holding a cake sale to raise funds for the charity WaterAid, which we have been supporting. Their aim is to use practical solutions to provide clean water, safe sanitation and hygiene education to the world's poorest people. Please support us by visiting our cake sale. Thank you.
